...this is not model behavior. But does it make you a terrible parent to pine, just a little, for a time when the job was less all consuming? Contrast Mad Men with HBO's couples-therapy drama Tell Me You Love Me, in which, despite the buzz over its explicit sex scenes, the most interesting couple is the pair who never have sex. Dave (Tim DeKay) and Katie (Ally Walker) are devoted parents who haven't been intimate in a year--in part, simply because of the exhaustion of everyday chores and staying close to the kids emotionally and physically...
...that would be easy to predict, but I think quite wrong. Sarkozy got elected running on an explicit platform of major change and praise for hard work, discipline, tax cuts and even the United States. His victory suggests that the French are more open to change than conventional wisdom held. Moreover, Sarkozy is blessed - in part due to his own cleverness in co-opting the most popular Socialists - with a hopelessly divided and demoralized opposition, unlikely to be able to challenge him anytime soon. And for all the rhetoric about making a "clean break" with the past, an image reinforced...
...hawking a new self-help book. Master P, whose estimated worth was once $661 million, watched his label, No Limit, sink into bankruptcy.

"Personally, I have profited millions of dollars through explicit rap lyrics," Master P stated on his website. "I can honestly say that I was once part of the problem, and now it's time to be part of the solution...
...enticing and terrifying eventuality. Like the original, High School Musical 2 (Aug. 17, 8 p.m. E.T.) gives them high school with training wheels: romance without sexual pressure, G-rated teen pop (Justin Timberlake before he brought sexy back). It's a raging bacchanal of hand holding, milk drinking and explicit thespianism! Obviously, this is escapism for parents too. Even the kids' rebellions--baking crème brûlée, angry dance numbers--would look good on a college application...
...Oberwald (1981), which used the new video technology to repaint forests, walls, gowns in an expert riot of surreal colors. He continued even after a 1985 stroke robbed him of speech. His four short segments in Beyond the Clouds had the old camera suavity and started to make explicit the erotic yearnings of his '60s films. He could not have made this film, and his 2003 contribution to the omnibus project Eros, without his wife Enrica, through whom he communicated with his casts and crews...
